Über diesen Titel

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the intricate artistry and political messaging of the Ara Pacis Augustae—the Altar of Peace commissioned by the Roman Senate in 13 BCE. They walk through its sculptural scenes: the processional frieze showing Augustus's family, the mythological panels of Aeneas and Romulus, and the lush vegetal reliefs symbolizing prosperity under the Pax Romana. The discussion covers how this monument served as propaganda for Augustus's new regime, linking him to Rome's founding myths while celebrating peace after decades of civil war. They also touch on the altar's rediscovery in the Renaissance and its reconstruction in the 20th century. Specific terms include Ara Pacis, Pax Romana, Res Gestae, Tellus, Flaminia, Aeneas, Romulus, and lictors. #AraPacis #Augustus #RomanArt #PaxRomana #AltarOfPeace #RomanPropaganda #Aeneas #Romulus #TellusRelief #AugustanAge #RomanSculpture #ImperialCult #ResGestae #CampusMartius #RomanHistory #History #FexingoHistory #AncientRome Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
